If anyone can provide a fix for the following, as.ĭoes the Motorola Surfboard SB5101 Cable Modem work with Comcast. And yes Comcast does not like it when they find out you. broadband routers & modems - Motorola SB5100 / SB5101 SURFboard. Haxorware Forums - Need help getting online with sb5101
Just Odd.How to fix surfboard sb5101 hack with comcast I have had no issues with Macs being slow with either of these routers and a Motorola SB5120.Īnd about the Design Flaw theory, Why did this speed issue just start appearing recently? I saw a site test fine at 6Mbps when it first was installed then recently when we went back to do some work find it testing between 1-3Mbps.
Our setups for residential clients include either the Netgear FVS114P or the FWG114P VPN Firewall Routers. For example, the COMSUMER grade Netgear routers (usually the silver plastic ones) are capped at 6, however the Business class routers have varying WAN to LAN speeds ranging from 15Mbps to over 50Mbps.
So the question is Why does TurboDOX make a difference with the Mac and not the PC?Īlso, another thing to note is that some routers cap the WAN to LAN interface at 6Mbps. The speed with the 5101 was 2-3Mbps and the speed with the 5120 was 18Mbps!!! yes, 18. I had the client go and buy a new SB5120 instead. The latest being today with a new installation with a new SB5101 modem. I have just completed about four locations where the Macs were slow with Comcast Cable modems. All and EVERY cable modem that people have references as working at full speeds on a Mac had 1 thing in common. I have spent hours on numerous forums reading many users complaints and many users solutions from changing DNS to using certain modems. Maybe Broadcom can answer the question as to why the Cable modems are slower with Macs with cable modems that do not have TurboDOX. Thank you.Īll Motorola Cable Modems except for the SB5120 Please understand that I can not and will not divulge any more information. I am unable to find any information about older and less popular cable modems. I am including a partial list of the most recent and popular cable modems that use our chipsets which have this problem. Our chipsets are used in almost all of the most popular cable modems. This is why I am coming forward and informing you of this problem with our products. I am a Mac user myself and am just as frustrated as you are with incompatible products. I'm sorry to say that fixing these design flaws, which only affect Mac users is not a priority at this time. However, I can tell you that using a cable modem containing one of these chipsets with your Mac will result in slow internet speeds. I am not at liberty to divulge any technical details. Some of these chipsets have a slight design flaw.
